Trump: I Miss Touching My Face (Touches His Face)

NBC News reports:

President Donald Trump took questions Wednesday morning at a meeting with airline executives concerned about coronavirus. As they spoke to reporters about what people need to do, the president remarked, “I haven’t touched my face in weeks. I miss it.” People in the room laughed.

The New York Times this week reported on how getting people “to stop touching the facial mucous membranes” is a difficult task and the more people think about not touching their faces, “the more their eyes twitch and their nose itches.”

“I haven”t touched my face in weeks. Been weeks. I miss it.”
